I was wondering if this game maybe hasent gotten the recognition it deserves? Everything that I see on the web points to this game looking great and having alot better gameplay that GTA4, what are your guys' thoughts?

I was thinking about picking up the collectors edition of this game just for the 200 page hardbound artbook of the game, I like those types up things for the coffee table lol.

Added PC option thanks, and I think it's just fine we just need people to not be forum Nazis and participate in the thread discussion. You , I see, have nothing to contribute.

Sheesh... calm down! :rolleyes:

You have put it in the Sony Console forum, yet it is a multi-platform game and you are asking a question about which platform we may be purchasing it for.

But now it has a PC option in the poll I have something to contribute.

So I will be getting for the PC as I did with the original game. I tried the xbox version of the original but it failed pretty hard compared to the greatness of the PC game.

He was just trying to help the topic get views. Mafia II is available for various platforms, so it makes no sense for it to be in the Sony section. That was his contribution.

As for mine, I loved Mafia but it was no GTA. This looks like it's improving on all the right things. I'd rather have it underpromise and overdeliver than the reverse.

I'm surprised that so many are getting the pc version. I'm a big fan of pc gaming, but some games lend themselves to consoles better. For example, Oblivion or Fallout 3, I think, are better on the pc (especially for mods). Mafia II looks like it will be a better console game for me because of the controls. I'm looking forward to it, especially since I beat Red Dead and Mass effect 2 and need something to play. There doesn't seem to be many good games coming out until the holidays.

Mafia is one of the best games I've ever played and I won't ruin my experience with the sequel by dumbed down graphics. I want the game in high resolution glory, highest graphic settings and

plenty of AA / AF all at 60FPS+ it deserves nothing less. I couldn't imagine playing this baby at the console's 30FPS.

Oh and why the hell is this in the Sony section?

And now you're getting both the graphics and awesome gameplay, so why trade anything.

Sorry, I said hell, that means I'm on the verge of exploding :( ...

Because when developers concentrate on "omg shiny", core gameplay goes out the window and gets run over by a truck carrying horse manure.

What a load of rubbish.

That happens when the developers have no passion or they are severely strained for time / money. Mafia II could have been in development for up to 8 years basically and not to mention it has

a great development team that actually cares. Just by looking at the gameplay videos, it just screams quality. Mafia looked really good, one of the best looking games at that time in fact and

that didn't suck as far as I remember?

There's no reason not to give Illusion Softworks / 2K Czech the benefit of the doubt.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
